Iftar for first timers

By Rukhsara Osman

Fasting for the first time is an anticipated event in the lives of children. They expect something special served on the iftar table -- creamy haleem, crispy jilapi, hot piaju, etc. -- and mothers make a mental note of this demand. My personal favourite was the shashliks my phupu used to make when I was younger, but I also think nothing can replace the spinach leaves my mother lathers in batter and deep fries!Prawn Piaju Ingredients: 1 cup red lentil 1 large onion, sliced 1 cup chopped prawns 3 green chilli, chopped
